The Ultimate Star Wars Celebration 2017 Photo Collection

Can you believe it's been 40 years since Star Wars first opened in theaters? It's an insanely impressive (and maybe a tad depressing for those of us looking back on how much time has passed) milestone and something worth celebrating in a big way. That's why it's the central theme of Star Wars Celebration 2017 in Orlando, Florida and the very first panel presentation of the event focused on it and honoring the late Carrie Fisher.

There's been surprise appearances, including by George Lucas and Harrison Ford, and John Williams put on a legendary performance that'll go down in the history books with The Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra and put you in tears. And that's just in the first hours of this year's Star Wars Celebration, a notably big event given that it won't return until 2019.

We attended the panels and explored the show floor to grab photos of cosplay, displays, vehicles, the fans, and even the stars. If you're a collector or a fan, check out the below image galleries which include our own exclusive photos as well as an official gallery of photos Disney shared with us.

Check back in daily as we add new photos to each gallery, especially the cosplay collection, in addition to entirely new galleries from tomorrow's panels (Star Wars: The Last Jedi surprises included!).

There has never been a more exciting time to be a Star Wars fan, and Star Wars Celebration in Orlando, USA will bring fans of all ages together, from all around the world, to celebrate the pop culture phenomenon that is Star Wars — all on the cusp of new Star Wars movies and television shows! Looking ahead, while celebrating all that has come before, there's something for everyone at Star Wars Celebration!
